Rock legend Eddie Money has channeled Jersey Boys and Rock Of Ages with his new stage show Two Tickets To Paradise – The Musical. The singer says his show is like Frankie Valli’s autobiographical musical , with one major difference – it’s made for now. The musical features classic Money songs like “Baby Hold On,” “Two Tickets To Paradise” and “Take Me Home Tonight, ” combined with Eddie’s narration about his ups and downs as a former New York City policeman turned rock n’ roll star.

The surprise star of the NFL playoffs this weekend was not, as many analysts predicted, one of the many talented rookie quarterbacks (Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson) who led their teams into battle. Rather, it was classic rock veteran Eddie Money, who both delighted and confounded #couchgating aficionados when he repeatedly popped up on television screens nationwide as the star of a brand new GEICO commercial.

It’s been a minute since we last heard from Money, the Brooklyn-born rocker who is no stranger to comebacks. He first made his name in the late 70s with his eponymous debut album, which contained the hit singles “Baby Hold On” and “Two Tickets To Paradise.” The latter only reached #22 on the Billboard Hot 100, but has been in rotation on classic rock radio since the format was invented in the Eighties.
